  • Down below El Paso lies Juarez
    Mexico is different yes like a travel folder says
    Cross the Rio Grande and you will find
    An old adobe house
    Where you leave your past behind

    One day married, next day free
    Broken hearts for you and me
    Takes no time, and all you to get
    A Mexican divorce

    As I came into this empty house last night
    Looked at all my windows, yes I did but I couldn't find one light

    I found you on that road to Mexico
    And now, my love, I beg
    Please, oh, please, don't go

    One day married, next day free
    Broken hearts for you and me
    Takes no time, and all you to get
    A Mexican divorce

    Finding love takes so long
    Walking out must be wrong
    It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce

    One day married, next day free
    Broken hearts for you and me Writer/s: BOB HILLIARD, BURT BACHARACH
